As a general tip, if you're trying to work out which part of a query is
taking time, and the query is fairly obviously made up of several parts,
it would make sense to try them individually.

In any case, it appears that the time is being taken performing a full
index scan over the societe table, in one of the subqueries. Perhaps you
could run each of the subqueries individually, and send us the one that
takes loads of time as a simpler problem to solve.
